Harris v. State

Harris v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 12, 1993 · Altenbernd, Parker, Patterson
614 So. 2d 691; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 3054; 1993 WL 66270 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Harris v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Christopher Harris appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief. The motion, which was brought pursuant to State v. District Court of Appeal, First District, 569 So.2d 439 (Fla. 1990), seeks belated appellate review of Harris’s conviction and sentence for escape. We find that the motion sets forth a prima facie showing of Harris’s entitlement to relief, and thus that the trial court erred in denying the motion without an evidentiary hearing or attachment of records. We reverse for further proceedings pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.

Reversed.

PARKER, A.C.J., and PATTERSON and ALTENBERND, JJ., concur.
